Five Things That Make PressChain Different

No Deletion. Ever.

Canonical content is permanent. Corrections create revision lineage — not erasure. The public record of journalism stays intact.

Public Acceptance

No outlet can self-approve. Every article needs 60% weighted public approval and 5% quorum to become canonical.

Claim-Level Disputes

Challenges go to the on-chain Court engine, targeting specific claims with evidence and bonded jurors. Process, not deletion.

Deterministic Revenue

Every fee is split on-chain. Every distribution decision is auditable. No platform controls where the money goes.

Evidence on Chain

Source documents are hash-committed on-chain at publication. Tampering is provable. Sources can’t be denied.

Rights Marketplace

Accepted articles can be licensed commercially. Revenue splits between contributors automatically, on-chain, instantly.
